Atom User Reviews
open your eyes to the realization of what a paramedic sees and go through makes you appreciate your job because their job definitely isn't easy
Metacritic
There are some strident cliches alongside redundant self-harming machismo in this sub-Schraderesque movie about New York paramedics.
Black Flies is too enraptured by the violence it finds in the margins of New York City to meaningfully interrogate the mental stress of healing it; too focused on the constant buzz of sirens and death to rescue anything more nuanced from those layers of white noise.
Black Flies offers plenty of nihilistic entertainment. But don’t be too tempted to look for any depth in a film far too comfortable in the formulaic confines.
